Established in 2002. Earliest forebears: Council of Engineering International representation of engineers Institutions (1965) and Engineering Council UK (2002). The Engineering Council continually works to increase Incorporated by Royal Charter in 1981. recognition of its registrants. As an active member of the profession’s international organisations and agreements, it As the UK regulatory body for the engineering profession, represents the interests of registered engineers and technicians the Engineering Council sets and maintains internationally and exerts strong influence internationally, which benefits recognised standards of professional competence and individuals, businesses and the UK system of engineering ethics. These are detailed in the UK Standard for Professional education. Find out more about international activity. Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). Mission: To maintain internationally recognised standards of Governance competence and commitment for the engineering profession, The Engineering Council is governed by a 22 member Board and to license competent institutions to champion the standards of Trustees, who are appointed in accordance with its Bye-laws. for the deliverance of public benefit. Fifteen are appointed to represent the licensed professional engineering institutions, and seven are appointed by Vision: That society continues to have confidence and trust in EngineeringUK to represent industry. Much of the organisation’s the engineering profession. work is undertaken through the assistance of numerous volunteers and also through committees and panels, which Companies House Incorporation number: RC000779 comprise wide industry representation. Registered Charity number: 286142

Engineering Council Register The Engineering Council holds the national Register of over 230,000: • Engineering Technicians (EngTech) • Incorporated Engineers (IEng) • Chartered Engineers (CEng) • Information and Communications Technology Technicians (ICTTech) Holders of these titles must be members of a professional engineering institution licensed by the Engineering Council or, in some cases, a Professional Affiliate. In order to achieve registered status individuals have been assessed by their institution and found to demonstrate the relevant standard of engineering competence and commitment. This includes committing to the code of conduct and behaving in an ethical way. The award and retention of these titles therefore ensures that employers, government and wider society - both in the UK and overseas - can have confidence in the knowledge, experience and commitment of engineers and technicians on the Register. In addition, there are around 8,000 engineers and technicians on the national Register holding interim registration having registered their intention to work towards one of the professional titles above. Learn more about interim registration.

The Engineering Council is part of this community, engineering community. They work both collectively and which also comprises the following bodies: individually with government, industry, academia and a range

Registered engineers and technicians demonstrate a personal and professional commitment to society, their profession and the environment. They are required to show that they have adopted a set of values and behaviours that will maintain and enhance the reputation of the profession. To become registered they must provide evidence of: • Complying with codes of conduct • Managing and applying safe systems of work • Undertaking engineering activities in a way that contributes to sustainable development • Carrying out Continuing Professional Development (CPD) necessary to maintain and enhance competence • Actively participating within the profession.

Accredited status confers market advantage to Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and provides a structured and rigorous mechanism ensuring the quality and relevance of degree programmes, and the opportunity for licensed professional engineering institutions and HEIs to work together for mutual benefit and public good. Search for degree programmes that partially, or fully satisfy the education requirement for IEng and CEng registration. Approval of qualifications and programmes

Other non-degree qualifications and programmes may be approved by licensed professional engineering institutions rather than accredited. These are primarily vocational qualifications, or programmes such as apprenticeships that are approved for the purposes of EngTech, IEng or ICTTech registration. The approval process looks at the overall design, coverage and assessment strategy and seeks evidence that satisfactory quality assurance arrangements are in place. Search the database of technician qualifications to see which qualifications and programmes have been approved as contributing towards EngTech, IEng or ICTTech registration.

The six principles help to guide in identifying, assessing, managing and communicating about risk. Ethical principles In 2005 the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Engineering Council jointly created a Statement of Ethical ENGINEERING COUNCIL Principles to guide engineering practice and behaviour. A revised statement was jointly produced in 2017, which includes four fundamental principles, designed to form the core of the codes of conduct published by the professional engineering institutions. These express the beliefs and values of the profession, with which the Engineering Council believes all those engaged in engineering should work in accordance.

Engineering Council Operating under a Royal Charter, the Engineering Council is the UK regulatory body for the engineering profession. It sets and maintains the internationally ENGINEERING COUNCIL ROYAL ACADEMY OF ENGINEERING recognised standards of professional competence and commitment, which are detailed in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). The Engineering Council also holds the national register of professional Engineering Technicians (EngTech), Incorporated Engineers (IEng), Chartered Engineers (CEng) and ICT Technicians (ICTTech). Holders of these titles must be members of a professional engineering institution licensed by the Engineering Council or in www.engc.org.uk/risk some cases a Professional Affi liate. In order to achieve registered status individuals will have demonstrated to their institution that they possess a range of technical and personal competences and are committed to keeping these up to date, and to acting with integrity in the public interest. The award and retention of these titles ensures that employers, government and wider society - both in the UK and overseas - can have confi dence in the knowledge, experience and commitment of engineers and technicians on the register.
